Passing this to you from the addressee below.  Please respond to the email address or phone number provided.

Gentlemen,

The Special Operations Association Foundation (SOAF) has established a fund to help our SOA members who have been impacted by Hurricane Ian. As some SOA members may not yet have reliable email or phone commo, I am asking you, if you have contact with any SFA members who need help, to pass along the message that the SOAF is ready to assist them. If they can find a working computer, they can email me at bacsi10@yahoo.com and I'll get them started on a grant. It is painless and we'll do all we can to expedite their case. If there is no computer access they can call me at 702-499-8155.

 

I hope that all is well with you and yours after the hurricane.

 

Fraternally and respectfully,

 

John E. Padgett, PA-C Emeritus, PhD

MAJ, US Special Forces (Ret), DMOR 
Director, Special Operations Assn

Exec Dir, Special Operations Assn Foundation
